Inspiration 🚀
The inspiration behind ElectiChoice came from the need to streamline the process of elective subject selection for students in educational institutions. Often, students have various elective options to choose from, and managing these choices manually can be time-consuming and prone to errors. ElectiChoice aims to provide a user-friendly and efficient platform for both students and administrators to manage elective subjects seamlessly. 🎓
What it does
ElectiChoice is a web application that offers three main functionalities: the Student Details App, the Elective Subject Selection App, and the Elective Subject App.
Student Details App 📚
- Allows users to add, update, and delete student information, including student names, ID numbers, email addresses, and phone numbers.
Elective Subject Selection App ⚡️
- Consists of two pages: Student Page and Elective Subject Page.
- Student Page:
- Enables users to select a student from a list of enrolled students.
- Allows users to manage elective subject selections for the chosen student, including adding, updating, or deleting elective subjects.
- Elective Subject Page:
- Allows users to select an elective subject from a list of available subjects.
- Provides functionality to manage the list of students who have chosen the selected elective subject, including adding, updating, or deleting students.
Elective Subject App 📝
- Provides options to add, update, and delete elective subjects.
- Each elective subject entry includes details such as the subject name, description, and code.
How we built it
ElectiChoice was built using a combination of modern web technologies:
Frontend:
- React: The user interface was developed using React, a popular JavaScript library for building interactive and dynamic web applications.
Backend:
- Node.js: The backend server was implemented using Node.js, a server-side JavaScript runtime.
- MongoDB: The application's database was built on MongoDB, a NoSQL database, to efficiently manage and store student and elective subject data.
